"SD cards have a limited life - about 1K writes before things start to fail"

Holy crap! 1k writes only? What kind of cards are you buying? I have several Pis (eight, 10 if I include my zeroWs), a couple of them that have been running for several years (literally) doing all manner of intense disk activity constantly, and I've only ever had two cards fail on me over that span across all of my Pis, and one was a direct result of accidentally applying 48v DC to the power pin while I had it connected to an SD reader while I was writing software for a micro controller.

I use mainly Kingston cards.
